London's Heathrow Airport is one of the busiest in the world, handling many domestic and international flights. As a result, delays and cancellations have become commonplace for staff and passengers alike, as weather conditions or technical issues can paralyze Heathrow for hours.

Travelers often have no choice but to look for a quiet place to rest. Simple Flying's editors have told you where you can find amenities and take a nap at the airport.

Terminal 2, known as the Queen's Terminal, has many places where you can stretch out and relax. Bright lights or noise can be a problem, but headphones and a sleep mask will solve this problem.

In Terminal 3, you can find lounges with comfortable sofas. However, at night, security may direct people to one central area, which will interrupt their sleep.

In Terminal 4, passengers are advised to pay attention to the ground part of the airport, as the air part may be closed at night. There, as well as in Terminal 5, you can take the sofas and relax on them.

In addition to seats in the crowd, tourists can use the services of hotels. For example, Aerotel London Heathrow is located inside the airport in Terminal 3.

There are many more options outside the terminals, but very close to them. These include the Sofitel near Terminal 5, Premier Inn and Hilton London Heathrow near Terminal 4.

If all the places are occupied or the prices are too high, passengers are offered to use the services of hotels away from the airport. They often cooperate with Heathrow and will make efforts to ease the way for guests.
